Here are the major steps of muscle and classic vehicle restoration. The total cost will depend on the initial condition of the vehicle and the level of quality you want in the final vehicle such as concours, show, or street show. Partial restoration can cost $50k to $100K or more. Complete restoration can cost $150k to $200K or more. 

1. Preparation-Classic cars by definition are several decades old. To properly restore them, everything on the car that can be removed must come off the frame and chassis. The body and frame have to be sandblasted or acid dipped to remove paint, rust, dirt, etc. Every piece, nut, and bolt must be cleaned and possibly re-plated.
2. Parts-Depending on the condition of your vehicle, new parts may be needed to make the car function again. If seek "matching numbers" level, the cost may be higher due to their limited availability. You will also pay shipping and expediting fees. There may be additional cleaning needed because most parts are sold as-is.
3. Labor Costs-Despite high tech tools such as state-of-the-art paint booths, this is still very much a hands-on process requiring highly skilled people. A full restoration may require hundreds of hours of work by several technicians. The shop you choose may outsource specialty work to other companies, and those costs will also be included.
4. Finishing Costs-Painting, welding, and body work is always needed in restoration. Painting costs will depend on the type and quality of paint, the number of coats needed, and the level of restoration.
5. Vehicle shipping-The car will need to be shipped to the shop and then returned to you. The cost will likely include insurance of the vehicle during transit. You may make the arrangements or the shop you choose may handle that for you.
